Dry lube


Stump Water

Recommended Posts

I've used Hornady One Shot as a case lube for years. Can some of the resident chemical engineers tell me why I shouldn't use DuPont Teflon Dry, Wax Lubricant instead?

 

 

Hornady One Shot

 

DuPont Teflon Multi-Use Dry, Wax Lubricant

 

I used it for a year or two. I now use the Frankford Arsenal. Aside from the uncontrollable twitching and slurred speech I developed, the Dupont works fine.

I can't give a chemical analysis of it, but for case lube its ok on small cases(38, 45 ACP, 44 Russian). Larger cases with a lot of surface area, there are better products out there.

Hornady lube is tested to be compatible with powder and primers, and not to kill a primer or leave residue behind that affects the pressure or function of the fired round.

 

DuPont's product is not tested for that purpose, and contains about 2 to 3 times as much non-volatile wax product.

 

I find I use so little of the One-shot lube, that I don't mind if the can costs $6 or $7 bucks - only buy one or two a year.

 

Good luck, GJ (Metallurgical engineer, so I guess I missed your specification by only a little :lol:)

Dan, seek ventilation, soon.

 

Joe, the pocket protector had me fooled. I would have never known the difference.

 

Ray, you know where I live. Show up with said bottle... nevermind, I have one. Come on.

 

Tom, he only knows how to start stuff.

 

Louie, rhetorical question. No one would.
